Sleuth

I was surprized to learn something zoology related while reading my store brand, instant oatmeal packet recently. (I read animal encyclopedias as a kid). They have a trivia question with the answer on the opposite side on them.

"What's a group of Bears called?"

Then I went on a search to try to confirm that answer. That bear group term definition isin't included on most dictionary sites. I found sleuth is not only an overused term to describe a detective, but is also a trail of an unknown person or animal, a shadow, a bloodhound, a board game, a computer game (1983), 3 movies (1925, 1972, 2007), a play (1970 ), an UNIX-based computer investigation kit, a former tv channel, n an anthropomorphic (Sherlock Holmes) dog Disney character who had Mickey Mouse as an assistant.



I even felt like a sleuth hunting down all this previously unsuspected info on the one term I'd never have imagined to be what a gaggle of geese is to a sleuth of bears...
